What Mr.. Dillon SAYS.


Mr.. Dillon said today that It was lmpossi-
Bile to deny the gravity Of the agitation.
The most disturbed district was South Gall
way, where new agent had been appointed
who displayed great activity. Trouble
might be expected there. The outlook for
the winter was gloomy. Mr.. Balfour was
apparently determined to get all the Nation
alist leaders into the clutches Of the law.
He should not be surprised II in a month or
two, majority Of the leaders. including
himself, were found picking oakum. Mr.
Balfour had been In Dublin consulting the
magistrates. This looked like action. Mr.
Balfour always startled them by hurting
prOclamatiOns into their midst, and then fly
ing from the country immediately. being ap-
prehensiye, perhaps. for his own safety.
The governments persistent enforcing Of
coercion would be certain 10 lead TO trouble.
He was positive that II the land commits
si0ners gave only inadequate judicial in
structions, the Salisbury cabinet would find
themselves face to face with a condition of
things unparalleled in the history Of Ireland.
The commissioners for the past two Years
have been Just, but there was every reason
to ferr the result Of the later Tory appoint
ments. There was much danger In the situ-
alton.

OF police was sent TO Greencastle. The ar

The English test Of the speed of vessels of
war is not nearly so severe or trustworthy as
ours. They simply rush them over a meas

speed of English war vessels in practice
rarely, IL ever, comes up to their speed over
the measured mile. We, on the other hand,
are thorough in every particular. We send
our vessels off on little cruise in all kinds
OF weather. Hence our vessels are as good
